	Efficiency for Access is a subsidiary of the international NGO CLASP (clasp.ngo). In a global effort, they seek to accelerate clean energy access by means of inclusive appliances that are affordable but high-performing. This new rebrand was built with first creating a new mark, followed by a new palette, website, and visual direction for social applications.


&#60;img width="2731" height="1536" width_o="2731" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7db356143b41219a2305576ce73b4666a1a97572699b159a798be30313673c6d/Logo-lockup.png" data-mid="227094036" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7db356143b41219a2305576ce73b4666a1a97572699b159a798be30313673c6d/Logo-lockup.png" /&#62;
&#60;img width="2731" height="1536" width_o="2731" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8c32bec2e8dde4485f8c0e593bd32868b36bc69ecfd233bab904348ee6e29b6/Logo-White.png" data-mid="227094037" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d8c32bec2e8dde4485f8c0e593bd32868b36bc69ecfd233bab904348ee6e29b6/Logo-White.png" /&#62;


The logo icon symbolically depicts the letter ‘E’ as in ‘efficiency’ and ‘energy’. Hence, the efficient flow of energy that evolves and empowers these unique appliances. The curvature of the mark also subtly visualizes the appliances efficient functionality.&#38;nbsp;

&#60;img width="2730" height="1536" width_o="2730" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31d2711f9570be106832bbebf18937b62152c606054f950c7e1d395379be43c5/Colors.png" data-mid="227094044" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31d2711f9570be106832bbebf18937b62152c606054f950c7e1d395379be43c5/Colors.png" /&#62;

The color palette direction is a take on clean energy and natural elements. The vibrancy and tones utilized complement one another but also represent the overall messaging and impact EforA has made.

Throughout the social applications and image treatments; the curvature from the logo is expanded throughout the layouts of announcement graphics &#38;amp; informative documents as masking shapes and stylized outlines.

These same branding elements can be seen more vastly throughout the website. Again, utilizing the palette and curvature patterns/shapes bring a dynamic look and feel. Its clean open interface is anchored with the color white which allows for photography and statistics to stand out and serves for high visibility and information digestion.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

	Artistic DirectionBrand Design


Restaurant Identity
	For Quán Nhii, Bánh Uót is a Vietnamese dish and experience that has brought together families, cultures, and traditions. Their goal isn’t to just serve food, but to provide a wholesome dining experience. Ultimately inviting their guests into a story of home, family, community, and culture—a story fellow designer; Jason Liu and myself helped develop through a robust visual identity.

&#60;img width="1366" height="760" width_o="1366" height_o="760" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baedaefc7c5b4fa9fda8a3c9eb404d58234aaae3c7a68ac237bc293baa3bfa84/logo-display.png" data-mid="227094190" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/baedaefc7c5b4fa9fda8a3c9eb404d58234aaae3c7a68ac237bc293baa3bfa84/logo-display.png" /&#62;


The overall approach to defining the look/feel of the brand ties back to the the owner’s family’s origin and roots in Nha Trang, a small city in Vietnam. The color palette was developed to represent some of the restaurant's core values and traits.&#38;nbsp; The cream &#38;amp; golden yellow to represent joy and royalty, forrest green for nature and fortune, orange for energy &#38;amp; warmth, and red for love and joy. 

&#60;img width="1366" height="759" width_o="1366" height_o="759" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91a445340f8f88fdcbb722d7845cc8cc803d0bb73ec9f3265c0fe49da7a294d3/logo-grid.png" data-mid="227094194" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/91a445340f8f88fdcbb722d7845cc8cc803d0bb73ec9f3265c0fe49da7a294d3/logo-grid.png" /&#62;

Illustrative elements &#38;amp; unique geometric forms are Inspired by various sources of restaurant interior and decor within the Vietnamese culture. These shapes were used as graphic placeholders for both photos, colors, and various type instances throughout the brand.

The dish Bánh Uót
was the general focus of the visual applications for social media. As it is the staple and anchor to the restaurant’s primary&#38;nbsp; experience and service.


&#60;img width="2047" height="1080" width_o="2047" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64dfe94e83514fdd3390f13cc7c8adb489874b673917ea7e12fed394c7b14549/Social-Posts.png" data-mid="227094227" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64dfe94e83514fdd3390f13cc7c8adb489874b673917ea7e12fed394c7b14549/Social-Posts.png" /&#62;


A brand guide was also designed to highlight rules when utilizing the identity within social and print applications for the restaurant and any other collateral that may be created in the future.

A meaningful agreement in the name of nursing.

	UI/UX Design
	The University of Chicago Medical Center and National Nurses United agreed to a 4-year labor contract (CBA). 
It was ratified by 2,800 nursing colleagues. This website was a pivotal piece in providing key updates and background information on the negotiations, resources, 
and stories in tandem with the agreement.

The interface design was tailored to emphasizing the the deal’s updates. Open white space primed for data and statistics. Highlighting the messaging and core initiative of the agreement as a whole and outlining the process of the bargaining team reaching the agreement. The UChicago Med brand colors and the shield element from the logo were utilized as the prime branding elements throughout the pages.

The BPM pattern system is a universal design element. Bringing a dynamic feeling of movement and layering along with pops of color. These can be used singularly or in combination with any graphic.

Each is interchangeable in color and size.

The inspired themes that contributed to the thought process behind these elements are as listed:
Circles - Popping /Circular/ Afro Shape Hair 
Plus - Addition/Advancement/Premium 
Parallel Lines- Constant Streaming/Production 
Zig-Zag-&#38;nbsp;Community/Meeting/Ups &#38;amp; Downs
